The Marche region
If you are planning a trip to Italy, the Marche region is a fantastic synthesis of Italian lifestyle and culture. It is rich in monuments, nature is breathtaking and you can enjoy unforgettable trekking and excursions in the many parks and natural reserves.
In the Marche you can spend a great holiday at the beach, or visit the many shrines and mystic places.
The typical Marche food will definitely make you happy: our delicious dishes go from from seafood to pasta, from a special coffee called "Moretta" to excellent wines and cheeses.
Hotel La Palomba in Mondavio is a perfect starting point for great tours of the Marche region.

Corinaldo
Renaissance and medieval town, surrounded by walls that have been perfectly preserved over the centuries, and a fine example of military architecture.
Within the walls of Corinaldo, we find important monuments and churches in baroque or neoclassical style, prestigious buildings and palaces.
There are also many places of worship, including the "Collegiata" church of Saint Francis, the sanctuary "dell'Incancellata" and the early Christian basilica of Madonna del Piano. Corinaldo is much loved by catholics also because it is the hometown of martyr saint Santa Maria Goretti.

Senigallia
Like Fano, Senigallia is also loved for its famous "velvet beach" and for the wide choice of events and monuments.
Among the monuments of Senigallia, we recommend the Rocca Roveresca, the Duke's Palace, the Government Palace, the Forum Annonario, a breathtaking square surrounded by columns and porches.
Do not miss the great fun of Senigallia’s Summer Jamboree, an event that brings the town back to the fabulous sixties.

Fano
Another interesting town of the Marche, 20 km from Mondavio, famous for its beaches and tourist resorts and amenities. Fano’s beaches are sandy (Lido beach) or made of flat river pebbles ( Sassonia beach), and are equipped to welcome families, children, but also young people, thanks to the many bars and entertainment events organized on the waterfront.
Fano is a Roman city, with imposing walls and both Roman and medieval monuments such as the Arch of Augustus and the Tombs of the Malatesta family, who ruled the town in the past. Also worth a visit: the beautiful Romanesque cathedral.
Do not miss the Carnival of Fano, with a parade of floats from where sweets are thrown to the crowd.

The hotel restaurant Palomba is in Mondavio, in the province of Pesaro Urbino, a village that brings to life the history and atmosphere of the Italian Renaissance. The main monument is the "Rocca Roveresca", an architecturally striking and inaccessible fortress, which demonstrates the importance of the village of Mondavio in the political scenario of the past centuries.
